Command History
Usage Guidelines
Before using the
out-of-service
command, you must disable the interface using the
shutdown
command.
When an interface is out of service, all the shared resources for the interface are released, as is the
configuration associated with those resources.
Caution
Taking interfaces out of service releases all the shared resources to ensure that they are available to other
interfaces. This causes the configuration in the shared resources to revert to default when the interface
is brought back into service. Also, an interface cannot come back into service unless the default shared
resources for the port are available. The operation to free up shared resources from another port is
disruptive.
Examples
The following example shows how to take an interface out of service.
switch#
config terminal
switch(config)#
interface fc 1/1
switch(config-if)#
shutdown
switch(config-if)#
out-of-service

configuration to revert to default
